Katie takes us through her two contrasting birth experiences in Brisbane. After struggling with undiagnosed endometriosis for over a decade, Katie's journey to motherhood began with conception on just the second cycle. Her first birth at 41+4 weeks resulted in a rapid, intense labour following induction, culminating in a forceps delivery and third-degree tear that she wasn't fully informed about at the time. Three years later, armed with better knowledge and a different care provider, Katie's second birth was the drug-free, empowering experience she'd always hoped for. She shares invaluable insights about advocating for yourself, the importance of informed consent, and how the right care provider can transform your birth experience.

Ever wondered what it's really like when your partner wants cuckolding but you're drowning in diapers, laundry, and sleepless nights? This honest conversation with Kelly pulls back the curtain on navigating kinky desires within the chaos of family life.Kelly shares her journey as a mother of young children whose husband revealed his cuckolding desires at perhaps the most overwhelming stage of parenthood. What followed wasn't a simple yes or no, but a nuanced exploration of boundaries, creative alternatives, and the very real challenges that come with balancing fantasy and reality.The most refreshing aspect of this conversation is its honesty about the mental load women carry. As Kelly puts it, "Nothing kills your sex drive more efficiently than being overworked and overtired." Through trial and error, Kelly and her partner discovered that dirty talk, verbal humiliation, and other creative alternatives could satisfy many aspects of cuckolding without her actually sleeping with other men. Their journey included awkward first attempts, communication breakthroughs, and eventually seeking professional help through couples counseling to establish healthy boundaries.Whether you're the one with cuckolding desires or the partner being asked to fulfill them, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating these conversations with compassion and creativity. Listen now for a perspective rarely heard in discussions about cuckolding – the voice of a loving partner who's neither rushing to fulfill the fantasy nor dismissing it entirely.Zach Watson - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCGP1ihHIjbtVeP2KPOPCmwJoymode: GREAT SEX SOLVED, NATURALLYUse Code VENUS for 20% off your first order at tryjoymode.com/venus

Did your high school health teacher ever try to teach you the risks of sex by making you carry around an egg and pretend it was a baby? These days, the pretending isn't as much of a stretch. Lots of schools are opting to use robotic babies that cry throughout the day and night just like a real infant. In this episode, we follow two teenage girls over the course of 48 hours with the “babies,” and their conclusions surprise us! We also revisit the story after an eye-opening study in The Lancet that shed new light on our reporting. ⭐️ Versions of this episode originally aired on March 1, 2015 and November 16, 2016 and the story is a favorite from the LST archives.

This discussion explores the profound significance of human consciousness and the role it plays in imbuing life with meaning in an indifferent universe. The speaker emphasizes the unique responsibility of humanity to create meaning and value through creativity and procreation. Drawing parallels between biological creation and artistic expression, the discussion challenges listeners to recognize the moral obligation they hold towards perpetuating life and honoring the sacrifices of their ancestors. Addressing societal fears around parenthood, the speaker argues that the fulfillment of raising children transcends personal convenience and encourages collective stewardship for future generations.

POP ART says FAMILY PLOTS: Yes, believe it or not, the latest episode of Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture, is now up. I can't believe it myself, and yet…it's true. Get ready for Episode 123. “All happy families are happy in the same way; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” Let's see if that rapscallion Leo Tolstoy is correct. This time around I am joined by the most enthusiastic Andy Goulding of Blueprint Review as we discussed Ron Howard's Parenthood and Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums. As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So, give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say. Andy and I especially had a great discussion on comparing the modernist approach of Howard and the post-modern/metamodern approach of Anderson; what films reflected our family life growing up; the racial aspects and attitude toward women in both; and many other discussions. It was a great time.

What does it really mean to be a rainbow family in the European Union? In this episode of Europe Talks Back,we explore the promise, and the shortcomings of the European Certificate of Parenthood, a regulation meant to ensure that parenthood rights are recognised across all 27 EU countries. From Spain to Bulgaria, Italy to Poland, we look at what's happening when same-sex families cross borders, only to find that their legal status doesn't always travel with them. To unpack the legal grey zones, the clash between national sovereignty and EU law, and what all this means for the children caught in between, we spoke with Professor Alina Tryfonidou, an expert in EU law and a leading voice on LGBTIQ+ rights. Despite hopeful rulings from EU courts, many rainbow families remain in limbo, a stark reminder that equality on paper doesn't always mean equality in practice.Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Honor Jones' debut novel, “Sleep,” begins in the damp undergrowth of a blackberry bush, where main character Margaret is playing a game. It's a quintessential childhood moment that ends with trauma that marks her forever. But like many kids, Margaret doesn't quite know how to hold this painful thing, and the adults in her life are no help. So she stuffs it and believes it will stay buried, where it can harm no one.And then she becomes a mother. Jones asks many psychological questions in “Sleep.” Maybe the most poignant: How does a parent keep their own trauma from hurting their kids? How do you raise a child to be safe without infecting them with a sense of fear?This week, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Jones joins host Kerri Miller to talk about that, as well as the power of secrets, the complexities of mother-daughter relationships and the tenuous balance between protection and hypervigilance. Guest: Honor Jones is a senior editor at The Atlantic and a writer. Her debut novel, “Sleep,” was named “one of the best summer reads of 2025” by the Oprah Book Club.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

Has feminism betrayed the very women it promised to empower? Deborah France-White, Louise Perry, and Erica Komisar go head-to-head on the hidden costs of sexual freedom. Deborah Frances-White is a bestselling author and host of The Guilty Feminist podcast, Louise Perry is a journalist and author of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, and Erica Komisar is a clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, and author of books such as, ‘Chicken Little the Sky Isn't Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety'. In this heated debate, they discuss: What casual sex is really doing to women. Why relationships are declining. The parenting crisis that no one's talking about. Why fewer people are having children. How modern dating is affecting female self-worth. 00:00 Intro02:29 Introducing the Panel03:43 What Is the Sexual Revolution?10:16 Autonomy, Freedom, and Agency as a Byproduct of the Sexual Revolution15:03 Casual Sex and Hookup Culture31:02 One Sexual Partner for Life33:15 Age of Marriage Increasing Over Time33:55 Emotional Consequences of Sex39:51 Feminists Typically Have Had Trauma43:28 Agency as a Personality Trait47:42 Sex Education in Schools49:34 Female Pleasure51:27 Is Sexual Freedom Making Us Happy?53:51 Feeling Bullied by the Narrative of Freedom57:44 Ads59:47 Manosphere and Tradwives01:07:10 Do Women Want Men to Be Providers?01:08:01 Children and Gender Roles01:12:23 Poor Mothers Looking After Children01:18:32 The Role Feminism Has Had on Motherhood01:22:35 Would Steven Take 3 Years Off Work to Raise Children?01:23:43 Men and Women's Nurturing Hormones01:28:12 We Can't Be Neutral About Policies01:30:39 The Narrative That Having Children Is Miserable01:32:27 Female Guilt01:33:35 Parenthood and Narcissism01:41:42 Birth Rates Declining01:43:06 Traditional Gender Roles01:48:44 Demonizing Feminism01:52:53 Link Between Political Stance and Number of Children01:57:03 Ads01:58:48 Pornography02:06:17 Masculine Virtues02:11:31 Do Boys and Girls Need to Be Parented Differently?02:13:00 Chivalry02:14:05 Evolutionary Differences02:19:20 Quotas in Education02:21:17 Final Thoughts Deborah: Instagram - https://bit.ly/3ZZFB39 Deborah's book, ‘Six Conversations We're Too Scared To Have', here: https://bit.ly/45ufBAh Follow Erica: Instagram - https://bit.ly/4lchbvi Erica's book, ‘Chicken Little the Sky Isn't Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety', here: https://bit.ly/3G2OhyI Follow Louise: X - https://bit.ly/3I1aHRu Louise's book, ‘The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century', here: https://bit.ly/4kN5QSD The Diary Of A CEO: Join DOAC circle here -https://doaccircle.com/ The 1% Diary is back - limited time only: https://bit.ly/3YFbJbt The Diary Of A CEO Conversation Cards (Second Edition): https://g2ul0.app.link/f31dsUttKKb Get email updates - https://bit.ly/diary-of-a-ceo-yt Follow Steven - https://g2ul0.app.link/gnGqL4IsKKb Sponsors: Stan Store - Visit https://link.stan.store/joinstanchallenge to join the challenge!KetoneIQ - Visit https://ketone.com/STEVEN for 30% off your subscription order Learn more about your ad choices.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! This week I made a huge announcement on my personal social media that I also shared with our Canine Rehabpreneur community that my wife and I will be having twins! As you can imagine, this incredible (and a bit terrifying) life-changing event has led towards a lot of reflection and planning for what lies ahead, and for this week's episode I wanted to share some of those thought with you. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: - We often dwell on things we “should've” done earlier, but the truth is: we'll never be younger than we are today—so start now. - Wishing and waiting doesn't create results—action in the present does. - The decisions we make today shape our future more than regrets from the past ever will—what matters is what we do now. - True success isn't just about caseload or revenue—it's about building a life and business aligned with your personal values. - Happiness is already a form of success, as echoed by Carlos Alcaraz's quote: “I'd choose happiness over massive success.” - You can build a business that evolves with your life—what worked in your 30s may not work in your 40s. - Time is fleeting—especially with family. Make conscious decisions about how you want to spend it. - Working more hours or grinding harder isn't always the answer; instead, find balance and redefine what success means for you now. - The “right” time is a myth—the best time is the one where you choose to move forward, even if imperfectly. - Every phase of life and business brings new priorities—make sure your business supports, not competes with, your personal goals.

In this previously recorded livestream, we unpack common myths, taboos, and cultural assumptions surrounding love, sexuality, parenting, and polygamy from an Ifá perspective. This candid conversation explores the deeper spiritual teachings behind sex outside of marriage, contraception, abortion, homosexuality, and more—while also honoring the lived experiences of modern practitioners. Whether you're curious about how Ifá views LGBTQ+ identity, or wondering what it means to raise children in alignment with your destiny, this episode offers guidance rooted in Yoruba cosmology and traditional ethics.

The focus of perinatal mental health is often on mothers, but we can't discount the importance of fathers' mental health on children, families, and relationships. Dads everywhere are struggling, and they often do so in silence. We need to raise awareness of this aspect of mental health! The Monday after Father's Day is International Fathers' Mental Health Day, so I'm discussing this topic and sharing helpful information in today's episode. Show Highlights: The messaging to boys and men from society My approach with clients and their partners is to try to reach more fathers. A compassionate approach promotes healing. M&M episodes focused on fathers and their mental health: 345: A New Father's Experience Through His Wife's Postpartum Psychosis with Tony Pacitti 286: Foundations in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Daniel Singley 274: Healing from Paternal Postpartum Depression with Kevin Seldon 273: The Emotional Wellness of Fathers with Adam Angel, LCSW 242: The Value of Fathers and The Black Voice in Parenthood with Reginald Day 195: Paternal Postpartum Depression with David Levine 181: Fathers and Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Sheehan Fisher 177: The Loss of a Wife and Mother to PPD with Steven D'Achille 23: “He's Not Talking About It,” A Father's Journey with Mark Williams Frightening statistics about fathers' mental health Stigma prevents men from reporting symptoms and seeking help. Risk factors for dads are similar to those of moms. (Dads are up to 50% more likely to experience perinatal mental health issues if their partner experiences them.) Dads can feel excluded from caregiving and disconnected from mom and baby. Dads should be screened just like moms! We can do better to meet the needs of fathers! Partners should check in with each other and check on each other's mental health. Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

On this week's episode, the sisters are diving into the rise of women who are choosing themselves, delaying motherhood, or opting out of parenthood altogether. Whether it's to pursue purpose, protect peace, or simply honour personal choice, we explore the societal pressures, unspoken judgments, and growing freedom to define womanhood on our own terms.
